Okay, this is bugging me like crazy

[Freudian_slip]

I know this is a bit odd, but this is bugging me. Wil actually made a rather good point to me today economy wise that it would be taking money out of the economy if I refunded people for gang weapons for 35k when they bought them for 50k...Anywho, read on and tell me what you think.



*me trying to figure things out in a Era world*


Okay, so I was thinking of having gang guns reduced to a 5 so that they could be used to once again be used as a reward to member loyalty and such. Honestly I think this was kinda silly of me now that I think of it considering I wanna make a brand new gang system anyway, but anywho....

If I were to refund people for their gang gun that is bought in the gang store for 50k for 35k of the money they spent on the gun, would that be draining money from the economy? I'm producing 35,000 dollars out of thin air, but I'm also taking away a 50,000 dollar item. If you look at it, it kinda jsut toke out 15k out of the economy, however.... This is a HUGE time frame from buying the gun and giving them 35k for it. That was 50k out of the economy when they bought that gun but you are putting 35k right back in months later....even if that guns gun, thats money that could of stayed gone. So i'm a bit confused here.

i'm just wondering how Era Economics compares with real life considering we don't have a fixed amount of money (though we don't really irl ethier, but we are suppose to)
